MANCHESTER, April 2o-The Guardian says:
THE tone is not lively. Few houses have ex-
ceeded moderate business. The tendency is
downward especially In yarns, where the recent
advance was never fully established. There ia
no appreciable increase of business in the India
department, and there have been but few trans
actions for other Eastern outlets The niscel.
laneous demand is quiet, though the number of
transactions has been fair in some departments.
Altogether they have been of little weight This
also applies to the home and colonial trade as
fer as the demand from first hands is concerned.
The export yarn market is exceedingly quiet.
India staples are in poor demand. Manufac-
turers who are not well provided with orders
are more DESTROYS to sell. Some makes of shirt
ings are freely offered, and occasionally quick
delivery is given. The early sJoppage of some
of the looms is mentioned unless there is a de-
cided revival in the demand There is some in
quiry for jaconnetts, but offers are rarely feast

Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
Operations were slow and the market without
any clearly defined point for the day. At first
the tone appeared easy, but rates recovered,
though not being fully sustained, and the close
was dull at very little difference in cost from
last evening, with all hands more or less offered
There have been some few new buying orders
received to-day, but generally operations were
local and exhibited great deal Of caution on
all sides"

CHICAGO April 2o-The wheat market turned
strong to-day, the members of the recognized
bull" clique appearing in the pit and bidding
for good sized lots. Trading was the heaviest
in a number of days. Buying was not only for
May, but also June, and that option at the close
was within &c of May. while the difference yes
terday was 1Hc. Shorts covered freely, and
small advance buying of June created an ini-
preston that June option also would come un-
der control of the bull combination. The
amount of wheat ON the ocean passage increased
400 900 bushes. Cearings from three Atlantic
ports were 900 bushels, and from Detroit
and Toledo shipments were E3o, 900 bushels
The market opened with May at S3L6c, rose 10
6a14c, fell off 10 S33fc rose TO 64Ssc, and closed
at SiGlSi1kc. Corn was quiet and easy, prices
being shade lower than yesterday. Oats were
featireless. Mess pork was unchanged. Lard
was moderately active and b0J7lsc lower early,
rallied and closed about unchanged. Short ribs
fell 1jQl l71sc early rallied l0gll3c, but again
declined 15Nl712c, rallied a trite, and closed
